The Madness Challenge

Omg i just learned how to defeat the snake without antidotes and shields


Thanks a million @SpherisCore for this challenge, awesome experience :metal:.

It is. The Accursed camp in the end has a human boss rng and if you pull the levers of the tower you’ll get a random Siptah legendary weapon as long as you hold a skeleton key if i am not mistaken

Wrap it up!
First photos then comments!













Every challenge comes to teach me something new! Something i couldn’t see, something i didn’t think it was possible until the very moment i finish every single challenge.
Don’t get me wrong but the base game is trapping you. People playing this game are hunting the best gear, best thralls, best of everything, even building spot, but they loose the opportunity to learn what’s really best in this game.

The knowledge to be free of all these s…t.

Ok i understand, we don’t have anymore the reflex our fellow @SpherisCore has, we’re getting old. I respect this. But at the same time i guarantee you that my reflexes are slow too, yet, i did it. What we must not ever do is give up. Keep fighting out of your box and you’ll win for sure. Don’t use a spear, use a shield and any weapon you like, you’ll win, i promise you.
There’s no best gear, just best possible knowledge!

I am still learning this “slow” game and i am happy for it.

Once again, thanks a million @SpherisCore, it’s a privilege meeting you here, truly!

“Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women.”

The fact that there is more than one way to crush your enemies is what many people seem to forget.

Okay let’s get back to it, it will help me take my mind off from things that are actually difficult :pogchamp:
While I’m in the Area, I will clear the Outsiders’ Vault and the Spider next to it.
Then, the right side of the map :+1:


Asylum of the Outsiders


Spider Boss (had trouble spawning for some reason, had to restart my game a few times…)


Refuge of the Goblinoids :smiling_imp:


I tried to make the Lone Wanderer Spawn for some time, but nope…
So I’m taking a break for now ^^;

It’s exactly the reason i was going to the market! This boss is wandering a lot and sometimes it doesn’t spawn at all. But it’s a spider :rofl:, they are all the same dude.

:100:
Yesterday i had a boring afternoon :confused:. My ps4 cannot handle the new update and i guess i will have to do format.
I have so many pictures and memories in it, that it makes me sad that i will have to delete them. And i know that if i start playing on ps5 there’s not turning back. But i guess it’s time. I know that i sound silly and weird, but… This is it, i am a weirdo!
Have fun @SpherisCore, at least one of us do :metal:

Okay, picking this up again :imp:

The Ravager


Scorpion Queen (she was hiding in the sand, that’s new!)

Scorpion King (not hiding)


Asylum of the Fiends :japanese_ogre:


Lacera Cresta


On the way, found this baddie


Den of the Wolf-brothers (Boss got stuck and disappeared, had to leave and re-enter the vault…)


Giant Bear


Another Spider


Bastion of the Bat-demons


The Lonely Grave Skeleton


And that’s it for today, the whole right side of the map is done (giving up on the Lone Wanderer spawning though)

OKAY LET’S MURDER THE REST OF THE MAP or something :cattoblush:
Let’s start with the south islands, if they don’t crash idk?


White Tiger


King Scorpion


Giant Snake (I got an idiot from a cage btw)

And my idiot got one shot by this :rofl:


Sand Reaper Idiot Queen


Red Mother…

And Lacera Cresta under it (fought both at the same time)


Isolated Lacera Cresta


Green Dragon


That’s gonna be it for today, fighting two different bosses at once was cool, I recommend :slight_smile:
Here is the state of the map:

I also got two figurines for later:
• Blood Moon Beast
• Avatar of Bokrug

Continuing a bit :expressionless:


Lacera Cresta


Lloigor


Blood Moon Beast (crashed once though)


This dummy spawned in terrain, so I can’t damage it, and it doesn’t attack :rofl:


Rockslide (died once because I couldn’t see anything due to damn plant fiber :rofl:, I told you the landscape can really change a fight @stelagel! So I cleared the plants and then it was an easy fight :slight_smile:)


Okay… Crashed a few times in the south-west isle area, it is unstable even in single player mode :smiley:
Can’t get to one Lacera Cresta boss, so I will pass this one :person_shrugging: but got another one anyway


Croco next to the Twice Drowned


__
Harbor of the Twice Drowned


And that’s gonna be it for today :slight_smile:

This rockslide was the one i used for training too, he is on a very even landscape and you can understand his moves and reactions better :+1:t6:.

On PlayStation i never crash south west, go figure, lol

So we’re continuing this, but with Chapter 2, Steel Thewed means we take ⅓ of our max HP per hit instead of ¼ of our max HP :eyes:

While Steel Thewed is nerfed, the Javelins are buffed, and now I’m playing with those Serpent-man Javelins that hit super hard… Without upgrades, they are the best weapons stats-wise, but they don’t have a heavy attack, and thus they cannot benefit from Heavy Blows.

Legendary Agilty Spear:

Epic Javelin: :rofl:

Let’s get this :poop: over with and move on :slight_smile:


Rotbranch


Demense of the Demon Spiders


Rockslide


Lacera Cresta


Sanctuary of the Serpent


I’ll take a break for now, the Steel Thewed nerf doesn’t matter all that much because bosses are as stupid and easy to dodge as ever :slight_smile:

I tried this challenge a bit last weekend and had a blast with it. Was planning on finishing it up this weekend but the update happened and the game is just to wonky to play currently. May try to continue or start over once the issues are resolved.

:tada:
You cannot imagine how happy you made me my friend, thank you :metal:.

Okay we got some :poop: left to do, and some idiots left to slay :doge:


Ghoul or something


Skeleton :skull_and_crossbones:


Undead Wolf (he has so little HP it’s a joke :frowning:)


Demon Spider


Spider


Volary of the Harpy :notlikethis:
Now this is a place where you feel Steel Thewed’s nerf a bit more :harold:


Still not that difficult, I died once to the BLACK HARPIES not the white ones, imagine!
(I panicked and used the dash from Katana, which doesn’t have hyper armor anymore, and things went south)


And I guess the game didn’t appreciate getting trivialized repeatedly :slight_smile:
image


So anyways, after lunch break, I went for more :harold:
Harbor of the Drowned


Volary of Jhil


King Scorpion


Rockslide (so many on this map lmfao)


Locust :neutral_face:


Refuge of the Gremlins


Giant Bear


Lacera Cresta


And that’s it, the map is complete! (kinda)


We will have to fight the Elder Things, which we will summon at the Pools of the Grey Ones next time :slight_smile:

So here we go, Pools of the Grey Ones!

Starting with the Avatar of Bokrug (The Molten Heart should get buffed to be interesting at all… And it should be removed from the inventory so you don’t end up with 2 of them every time you kill Bokrug…)


Blood Moon Beast


Krllyandian :broccoli:


Spider of Leng (idk why I though it would be harder…)


Blood Defiler, as a joke :thonk:


And I tested all other figurines just in case, but nothing big :sweat_smile:
This is however one of the best ways to farm Fragments of Power on Siptah, truly!

So yeah uh… Challenge Complete @stelagel @MarcosC!

I will have to come up with something truly insane, and stream it :smiling_imp:
Until then, see you :stuck_out_tongue:

Make a lvl X purge without thralls :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:. Decadent :wink:

Ps. Congratulations, beautiful challenge, thanks a million again :metal:

Yeah. If only you had use for them after a little while. Especially now that the Voidforge recipes aren’t random anymore, and many items that used to require a fragment to craft no longer do so, I end up with piles of fragments for which I have no use. Except eating them for BP challenge.

If you’re lucky enough to get the recipe on Siptah, Weapon Oils!
More specifically, Oil of Bounty :slight_smile:

True! Said more than once that fragments on siptah are candies. However it’s tempting to use oils on weapons you can repair on your own inventory. I haven’t play oils more than a year now, i don’t know if they are balanced. I will try when i return home.

The oils aren’t really worth it on weapons, but on tools they are great!
Make your own tests though, you will see :slight_smile:
